    Nothing new here. Another trophy and Zizo keeps breaking records and beats another great manager as well. Good way to start the season. @Michael Myers @Guma @Fire Squad

    we should seriously start searching for some other alternatives. It's obvious Liverpool ain't letting him go and coutinho himself probably wants to stay at liverpool. I suggest barcelona to go for mateo kovačić, pay 50 mill in his buyout clause and hope real will sell him

    f--- liverpool! Barca should put sergi roberto in the midfield and just buy dembele. Sergi Roberto is by no means anything less good than f---ing coutinho. Coutinho only looks that good when he plays alongside all other trees in that trash liverpool squad.

    Dread or Alive Kamikaze should've been released 3 years ago

    I doubt that. Madrid's defense has been so bad that even Utd's slow, incoherent, inefficient and bland attack could carve out some clear cut chances and almost score. Madrid's attack is also still inferior to ours despite maybe having a better bench.

    Not saying they can't win, but I don't see why we can't just outscore them like we did last time in the Bernaleo. Their defense isn't better than ours.

    I think Zidane will play a 4-4-2 (4-4-1-1) with Benzema and Ronaldo up front and 4 mids instead of 3. That way he could fight for midfield superiority, and two strikers will be much harder for our CB's to contain than one. They have good enough wingbacks to threaten the wide areas on their own.

    That means Isco will probably be playing alongside Mateo , Kroos and Modric.

    If he plays 3 midfielders, i honestly think they'll just get outplayed by the overload but they'll rely on the counter. Problem is that Alba's positioning seems to have been improved and we have significantly better Rightbacks to choose from. Plus valverde's pressing will make us less susceptible to counters (it's his priority).

    I think people underestimate how much better our midfield and defense look under Ernesto, even though we lost neymar in attack.



    Tactics aside though Classico's are usually either down to one manager getting it completely wrong and being thoroughly outplayed, or the match goes down to individual ability and either Messi or Ramos will score the winner.

    Tottenham bid 40 million Euros for Ajax' Sanchez but we turned down the offer and offering him a new contract instead where he supposedly earns 60k a week :sweatt:
